Sabalenka is one of the hardest hitters on the tour and, over the last three seasons, one of its most consistent winners. She won the Australian Open in 2023 and 2024, the US Open in 2024 and 2025, and on July 20, 2026, she reached 100 weeks at No. 1, joining what the WTA called elite company.
The top spot changed hands after the 2026 US Open, where Elena Rybakina beat her in the final 6-4, 5-7, 6-2. On the list of November 2, 2026 she sits second with 6,485 points. She is 28, and her path to the top was not a straight line. She reached the top 10 in 2019, the year she lost her father, and won her first major only in 2023.
Partner and family
Aryna Sabalenka's partner, Georgios Frangulis
Aryna Sabalenka is engaged to Georgios Frangulis, the entrepreneur who founded the acai chain Oakberry. Their engagement was announced on March 4, 2026.
Sabalenka shared the news on social media and the Associated Press reported the engagement on March 4, 2026. Frangulis is the founder and chief executive of Oakberry, the acai bowl chain. No wedding date has been announced, and beyond the engagement the couple keep their private life largely private, which this profile respects.
Her family story is more painful, and she has told it herself. Her father, Sergey, started her in tennis almost by accident, and the WTA records that he drove past some courts when she was six and decided they should give it a try. He died suddenly in November 2019, aged 43. "It was something unexpected, he was young, he was 43," she told reporters in Adelaide two months later, in an interview with the WTA, and she has said reaching No. 1 had been his dream for her.
Keep that in mind when reading her record since. The four majors and the two years she finished at No. 1 all came after his death. Her WTA biography adds lighter notes from home. She has a sweet tooth, she looks forward to her grandmother's pancakes when she gets back from tour, and her favorite book is "The Count of Monte Cristo".
Coaching team
Aryna Sabalenka's coach, Anton Dubrov
Anton Dubrov, her former hitting partner, has been Aryna Sabalenka's head coach since 2020. Before him she worked with Dmitry Tursunov for about 15 months and briefly with Dieter Kindlmann.

- Anton DubrovCoach, 2020 to now
- Dieter KindlmannCoach, 2019
- Dmitry TursunovCoach, 2018 to 2019
The coaching story has an unusual shape. Dmitry Tursunov, a former ATP player, coached her through her rise into the top 10, and the partnership ended suddenly at the 2019 US Open after about 15 months. A short spell with Dieter Kindlmann followed. Then she promoted Anton Dubrov, who had been her hitting partner, to head coach in 2020. Few top players hand the job to the person feeding them balls in practice, and it worked.
Under Dubrov she reached No. 1 for the first time in September 2023 and won all four of her majors. Her WTA profile lists him as her coach, with Tursunov and Kindlmann named as previous coaches.

Net worth and prize money
Aryna Sabalenka net worth and prize money
No official net worth exists. Her career prize money is $53,310,864, second on the WTA's all-time list behind Serena Williams. Forbes estimated her earnings at $36.1 million in the year before the 2026 US Open.
The money in four numbers
Of these four numbers only the $53.3M is a record. The $36.1M for 2026, and its $23M off court, are Forbes estimates with no audit behind them.

The WTA's top five career earners
Official WTA career prize money in US dollars, singles and doubles, as of November 2, 2026
The prize money is official and enormous. The WTA's career list of November 2, 2026 puts her on $53,310,864, behind only Serena Williams, and her 2026 season had already added $8,109,243 by mid-October, the second-highest total on the tour that year. These are gross amounts in US dollars, before tax and before the cost of the team that travels with her.
Sponsors add more. Forbes estimated her total earnings at $36.1 million for the twelve months before the 2026 US Open, with $13.1 million from prize money and $23 million off court. That made her the highest-earning active woman on Forbes' 2026 tennis list, just ahead of Coco Gauff; only the retired Serena Williams ranked higher among women.
None of that amounts to a net worth, which would need her investments, taxes and spending. So this page does not give one; the richest tennis players tracker explains the difference and lists every player on the same official basis.

Every row comes from the same WTA lists and Forbes table as the rest of this page; the ball marks the stronger figure. Both profiles are kept up to date from the same data.
For four seasons the top of the women's game has run through these two. Their 2023 Madrid final, which Sabalenka won, was the first WTA 1000 final between the world No. 1 and No. 2 in nine years, and they have met regularly in big finals since. Swiatek owns clay; Sabalenka owns the hard courts of Melbourne and New York. Grass has been kind to neither as often as they would like, although Swiatek won Wimbledon in 2025.

Her Australian Open record is 34 wins and 7 losses, her US Open record 41 and 7. She beat Elena Rybakina for her first major in Melbourne in 2023 and Zheng Qinwen a year later, then won New York twice, against Jessica Pegula in 2024 and Amanda Anisimova in 2025, 6-3, 7-6(3).
The lost finals are part of the picture too. Coco Gauff beat her in the 2023 US Open final and the 2025 Roland Garros final, Madison Keys in Melbourne in 2025, and Rybakina in both the Australian Open and US Open finals of 2026. That is five lost major finals against four won, which says as much about how often she gets there as about the finals themselves. Every one of them was best of three sets, the women's format at the majors explained in why women play three sets.
The 25 titles on her WTA record include a WTA 125 event in Mumbai in 2017; the tour-level wins start with New Haven in 2018. Her doubles résumé is strong too, and with Elise Mertens she won the 2019 US Open and the 2021 Australian Open.
Playing style and the tiger
How Aryna Sabalenka plays, and the tiger tattoo
Sabalenka plays first-strike power tennis: a big serve and heavy groundstrokes from both wings. The tiger tattoo on her left arm gave her the nickname The Tiger.
Her game is built on pace. She serves big, takes the ball early and tries to finish points within a few shots, which is why fast hard courts suit her best and why clay, with its high, slow bounce, took longer. Her Madrid titles in 2021, 2023 and 2025 show how far she has come on the surface.
The tiger is real, and it is on her left arm. Her WTA profile says the tattoo earned her the nickname "The Tiger", which suits a player whose celebrations are as loud as her forehand.
The serve was once the weak link. In 2022 double faults cost her matches in clusters, and she rebuilt the motion with her team; by the time she won her first major in Melbourne it had become a weapon again. The tennis calendar shows the hard-court weeks where she is usually at her strongest.
